I gave this a try, and it seems like a good idea, as it makes it possible to script with ZAAP without building the message loop etc.

It is rather slow (3:05 for 2478 files). Part of this is in ZTreeWin, but there would be a contribution in the host. This is fast enough for manual operations, but not Ctrl-Y. I normally poll my ZAAP at 100-250mSec, which is human reaction time.

My latest development detects the start of a Ctrl-Y, and drops polling to 3mSec.
The Ctrl-Assist command only needs to be compiled once, then it can be applied for the rest of the sequence. It also helps to minimise screen updating.

This presumably relies on the RegEx in Java Script. I don't know this, and if people were going to use any beyond the basics would need a pointer to the documentation.

I have about 4 versions of grep, all having different RegEx conventions.
